NVIDIA GRID K100: specs and benchmarks
Contents
Summary
NVIDIA started GRID K100 sales 28 June 2013 at a recommended price of $63. This is a Kepler architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 256 MB of DDR3 memory clocked at 0.89 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 28.51 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a dual-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 130 Watt.
